Hola amigo, que paso ? MM has sounpools with acoustic guitar, Brass sounds (trumpets) and bass for the guitarron. .I've done some Mariachi type stuff....oh! I just remembered, there is also marrimba instruments. So some experimenting and create your own mexican sound. Remember when people are watching a Mexican themed video, if you did a good job on it, subconciously your audience will see, hear and taste Mexico.....I think I'll go and have a Margarita......its working already. Adiois, vaya con dios y buena suerte. El gnarly

You can find music on Catooh to be used in Music Maker. It could be a simple loop or soundpool. Do not for get to check the license terms.

Also if you are interested to know more about soundpools check the PDF.

Hi,

Music Maker can help you create and edit songs. But if you are looking for something already done, other than using soundpools from Catooh, you can try other sources, like Smartsound. Here is one potential album that can be modified to suit your video using Sonicfire from SmartSound.

BTW, what program are you using to edit your video?

Window XP? Time to upgrade.

. . . . Window XP? Time to upgrade. . . . .

Agree totally with John CB - however do be aware that the version of Music maker you have - it would help if you tell us which version when you post - may not be compatible if you upgrade to Windows 8.1.

There are may free soundtracks available online - by free I do not mean Royalty free, you usually have to pay for these, but totally free ie no fee, no royalties, use as you wish.
